Welding, what is really required

Hi guys,

Just wondering, since I don't know any underwater welders I was hoping someone here would have some inside knowledge...

I understand that doing the 1,2,3 ADAS is not enough to get a welding job, so what is an acceptable entry level amount of backround/education for such a job?

Would a Cert 2 in weld engineering be enough to get a foot in? Maybe x-ray standard? Do you need on land expirence in welding?

Thanks guys!

Revealing the secrets of the Bullshark in the South-Pacific: by Juerg Brunnschweiler; Populations of large marine predators such as sharks are in dangerous decline. Recent scientific studies report declines of up to 99% for several shark species such as the oceanic whitetip shark in the Gulf of Mexico. Studies also indicate that the reduction in number of larger coastal species such as bull, hammerhead, and tiger sharks may be as high as 80% in the Atlantic Ocean.
